Hand-Built Clay Gnome

with Yvette Tobias

Saturday, May 10 | 10 AM - 2 PM

Who loves gnomes? We do! In this workshop, you'll make your very own gnome (1) suitable for indoor or outdoor decorating! Instructor Yvette Tobias will teach all the basics about working with clay slabs you need to know, with all materials, glazes, and kiln firings provided. This is a hand-building class, meaning that you won't use the pottery wheel to create your project. The gnomes pictured are just design suggestions, but you'll have full artistic license! It will be ready to pick up within 2-4 weeks from the class date, depending on our kiln firing schedule. This workshop is for adults ages 14 and older, and perfect for beginners! (For those with younger children, please check out our Kids & Family classes!) Those with some clay experience will have a great time, too.

This workshop is the day before Mothers' Day for a reason! Why not treat Mom to a special class, or even better, take it together as a bonding experience? Let us know if you'd like to make it a gift, and we can provide you with a certificate and gift bag, as well as a note for you to write your own gift message.

Please Note:

Tuition is due with registration unless other arrangements are made. If you cancel 0-7 days before the class start date, we are able to refund your tuition ONLY if we can fill your space from our waitlist. We are not able to issue partial refunds or transfer your registration to another class.

Art is a messy business! Please bring an apron or wear work clothes and shoes that can get dirty with clay/paint/etc.
Leave your rings, smartwatches, and jewelry at home. Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items.
We ask that you pick up your projects within 2 weeks of your notification that they're ready. We have so many classes that our space can get quite full with students' work!
